Meanings and usage

noun: sink; wash basin
鋅盆

The given reading sing1 matches Etymology 3 (a loan from English 'sink'), where the character occurs only bound in the compound 鋅盆/锌盆 'wash basin'; it does not correspond to the common zinc/chemistry sense (Mandarin xīn), so a standalone gloss for the bare character is somewhat approximate.
